Seeing you leave my office feeling better and more comfortable in your skin makes my day. Hearing that your life has changed for the better makes my year.

I pledge that when you come to me you will find my heart open to you no matter how you have suffered, no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from and no matter how you live your life. My goal is to look at those things you give me permission to look at and to work with you to see how your choices are or are not serving your wants and needs. I will pay attention to what you are telling me, both in words and in other ways, to serve your needs and to go at the pace that is a fit for you. I will share the understandings I have gained in my life if you want them and if they are helpful to you.

Therapy is about both the inside and the outside. Deeply connecting and understanding what is going on in the room gives you something to take into your life. Bringing your life into the room gives us the things we can look at together to help you become the person you want to be and to give you the life you want to have. To earn your trust, I will be caring and real with you.
